Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Écologie
marin récifal; profondeur 4 - 70 m (Ref. 26938). Subtropical; 34°N - 10°S, 99°W - 32°W
Western Atlantic: Bermuda and southern Florida, USA to northern Brazil. Also in Bahamas and Caribbean, including Antilles (Ref. 26938).
Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm
Max length : 22.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 5217); common length : 16.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 5217)
Épines dorsales (Total) : 10; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total) : 12. Back crossed by yellow spots and saddles, some of which expand on upper side.
Inhabits shallow rocky or coral bottoms with clear water (Ref. 5217). In groups on deeper reefs (Ref. 9710). Synchronously hermaphroditic. Negligible commercial value due to its small size (Ref. 5217). Sometimes follows goatfishes (family Mullidae) as they probe the sand for invertebrates (Ref. 26938).
